Top 5 Garment Manufacturing Companies in Zambia

1 Aranda Textiles

Founded in South Africa by an Italian family, Aranda is known for its line of blankets. They also produce other high-end goods such as throws, shawls, and decor items. As a global brand, they continue to keep up with trends from around the world.

The company is a subsidiary of the JMV TEXTILES GROUP, a South African textile conglomerate that produces fabrics and finished garments. They have three complementary companies, all of which are worthy of a mention.

The first is a small circular knitted fabrics manufacturer with one machine. The next is a fabric sourcing firm that supplies boxed authentic Chitenge fabrics to the retail market. The third is a retailer of African prints, the most notable of which is Patches Galore.

The company also has a retail outlet of the same name, Madina Sales, which stocks a wide range of products, from curtains and upholstery material to carport and canvas cloth. They also have a free tour of their operation.

As of late, the manufacturing sector has seen stagnant growth and consumer spending has been restrained by falling incomes.

This has created a competitive environment for producers, especially when it comes to textiles. But the best part about it all is that it has a large market. This is particularly true of the textile industry, which includes fabric and bedding manufacturers, as well as tent manufacturers.

2 LSI T-shirts

LSI T-shirts is one of Zambia’s leading T-shirt and clothing manufacturing companies. Founded in 2001, it has a head start over its competitors, specializing in sportswear, streetwear and men’s apparel.

Although it’s been around for a while, the t-shirt trade has almost single-handedly crippled the Zambian economy, killing the country’s textile industry. It has been compared to economic colonialism by experts, resulting in a host of problems including poverty and unemployment.

3 OSC Fashion

Listed in the top clothing factories in Nigeria, OSC Fashion is a woman-owned business that provides large and small-batch manufacturing services. Founded by Olusola Babatunde, the company has facilities in Ikeja and Yaba in Lagos.

The apparel industry has started taking notice of East African countries such as Ethiopia and Kenya. These countries share similar infrastructure and social and environmental compliance issues. However, they also offer some advantages to apparel buyers.

In terms of cost, Ethiopia offers the lowest labor costs and most competitive electricity prices. Its power grid is not as reliable as its neighbors, but it has a large supply of hydroelectric power. The country has also recently begun building a separate power grid for new industrial zones.

Kenya’s garment factories are now averaging about 1,500 employees. These factories have been increasing their capacity over the last few years. Foreign direct investments have helped these factories expand. The country’s trade partners include the United States and Europe. In 2013, 92 percent of Kenya’s apparel exports went to the U.S. The government has prioritized the development of the export textile industry.

The country’s imports of cotton and synthetic fibres make it a major player in the apparel industry. The government is promoting this sector by importing high-tech equipment for fabric production.

Although the country’s apparel exports have increased in recent years, it remains one of the poorest in the region. The government has sought to diversify the economy away from agriculture.

The apparel industry is a major contributor to many economies. In Zambia, the garment industry is mainly based on textiles, industrial clothing, and work uniforms. This sector has been criticized for sweatshops and child labor. However, the industry has grown significantly in recent years.

The government has encouraged the development of the export textile industry by promoting foreign direct investment. The garment industry has benefited from low wages and an increase in media coverage after large-scale disasters.
